Has to be. Like I said, Tioga Downs, the new harness track out here, got their VLT license about a year ago and they are up and running. About 500 of those things with more planned. And they built a whole new facility in the last year as well.

I hear you Sumitas.
Look at Finger Lakes, a little track in the middle of no where.
Purses have increased, the concessions have more play (the bar is just outside the slot room), and everybody is having a good time.
So what if somebody would rather pull a lever than cap a race...what ever "floats your boat".
On the scale of the larger tracks, do you think Trump is playing cause he doesn't want his AC casinos cut? Or could it be the Oneidas? Or could it be that the kickback arrangements haven't been negotiated?
I dunno...I just dunno.
